Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to fluctuate and detect the misfire detection device of cutoff, and be specifically related to be used to be provided with the misfire detection device of the internal-combustion engine of flywheel according to the rotation of internal-combustion engine.
Background technique
In the internal-combustion engine in being included in vehicle, be called as the phenomenon of " cutoff " sometimes, promptly depend on such as the temperature of spark plug or the condition the state and air-fuel mixture in can not the ignition combustion chamber.When cutoff takes place, not only reduced the rotating speed of motor, also discharged unburned air-fuel mixture to gas exhaust manifold.This meeting deteriorate emission, and can influence the cleaning of emissions catalyzer unfriendly.Therefore, in order to solve the cutoff problem in the internal-combustion engine in stage early, must to cutoff detect and to the Pilot Report.
As the misfire detection device that detects the cutoff in the multi-cylinder engine, at the bigger situation of the fluctuation of engine speed when cutoff takes place (hereinafter to be referred as the rotation fluctuation), a kind of cutoff determining apparatus has been proposed, it judges the generation (for example, referring to Japanese Patent Laid Open Publication 05-203539 and Japanese Patent No. 3063007) of cutoff according to the rotation fluctuation.The basic principle that cutoff in above-mentioned misfire detection device detects is as described below.
At first, when in a cylinder cutoff taking place, the engine speed in the explosion stroke in cylinder (cutoff has in fact taken place, therefore do not broken out) reduces gradually.As a result, the required period of specific crank angle become in the explosion stroke than other cylinders required period of rotation is longer in the explosion stroke of bent axle in the cutoff cylinder.Therefore, the above-mentioned period by measuring cylinder also compares mutually, just can detect whether cutoff has taken place.
For example, as shown in Figure 5, with regard to six-cylinder engine, when specific cylinder (for example the 3rd cylinder #3) when being in explosion stroke, carry out computing and in this explosion stroke, rotate the required transit time T3 of specific crank angle and bent axle and enter the difference (T3-T2) of rotating in the blast stroke of cylinder (for example second cylinder #2) of explosion stroke between the required transit time T2 of specific angle shifting to an earlier date specific crank angle than the explosion stroke of the 3rd cylinder # 3 to obtain bent axle.When operation values (deviation in transit time) promptly, when the rotational wave momentum surpasses defined threshold, judge a cylinder cut-out (for example, the 3rd cylinder # 3 cutoff) taken place in six-cylinder engine.In addition, as shown in Figure 6, when the rotational wave momentum continues to surpass threshold value, judge two continuous cutoff of cylinder (for example, the continuous cutoff of the 3rd cylinder # 3 and four-cylinder #4) have taken place.
Note, detect the rotating speed of internal-combustion engine by the rotary angle transmitter (for example, crankshaft position sensor) that is arranged at bent axle.
In addition, in internal-combustion engine, the cutoff meeting causes the rotation fluctuation, but waits the play (backlash) that causes also can cause the rotation fluctuation because of flywheel is aging sometimes.In some cases, when vehicle driving when rough road (for example jolt uneven road surface or gravel road surface) goes up, by the transmission shaft transmission, in flywheel, produce the rotation fluctuation from the torque of vehicle rear wheel thus.The rotation fluctuation that is difficult to be caused owing to rotation fluctuation and the cutoff that other factors caused except cutoff distinguishes, and therefore can detect cutoff mistakenly.
Therefore, for fear of above-mentioned wrong detection to cutoff, a kind of average correlation (average correlation) between rotation undulating value and cutoff decision content has been proposed greatly the time, there is the technology (for example, referring to Japanese Patent Laid Open Publication 2004-324524) of cancelling the cutoff result of determination because of the aging play that causes of flywheel according to hypothesis.In addition, proposed a kind of just on rough road, travelling and forbidden the technology (for example, referring to Japanese Patent Laid Open Publication 07-279734) that cutoff detects by rotation fluctuation judgement vehicle based on flywheel.
With regard to the flywheel that is mounted to internal-combustion engine (below be also referred to as motor), known a kind of flywheel, its torsional vibration that absorbs the rotation fluctuation of motor and/or rotating shaft is to suppress the vibration of Power Train.But, adopt the motor of the flywheel reliability problems of cutoff detection that had the rotation fluctuation becomes when cutoff takes place irregular and deterioration.In its reason of following description.
At first, for example as shown in Figure 7, flywheel is a kind of mechanism, the speed changer side plate 22 (hereinafter referred to as back plate 22) that wherein is provided with the motor side plate 21 (hereinafter referred to as header board 21) of the bent axle that is connected to motor and is connected to transmission side, spring 23 is interposed between header board 21 and the back plate 22.In the motor of this flywheel 2 of above-mentioned employing, also come the detection of engine rotating speed by the rotary angle transmitter (for example, crankshaft position sensor) that is arranged at bent axle.
In this flywheel 2, between back plate 22 and spring 23, play (space (play): for example 6 ° (± 3 °)) is set, absorbed by play in the medium and small rotation fluctuation of normal idle running (low load/slow-speed of revolution) thus.Therefore, shown in the arrow B among Fig. 7, keep spring 23 not with header board 21 and back plate 22 state of contact.In the case, although small rotation fluctuation (for example, the fluctuation in the 800-810rpm scope) takes place in header board 21, back plate 22 still constant rotates (for example, 805rpm).In flywheel 2, when spring 23 does not contact with back plate 22, by transmission of drive force such as friction mechanism (not shown).
When a cylinder cut-out had taken place in above-mentioned idle state, in some cases, back plate 22 moved in above-mentioned play scope, keep thus spring 23 not with header board 21 or back plate 22 state of contact.Here, the cutoff that may not can make a mistake detects.
On the other hand, as shown in Figure 8, when two continuous cutoff of cylinder taking place, the rotational wave momentum that causes because of cutoff surpasses threshold value in the first cutoff cylinder (for example, the 3rd cylinder), and detects cutoff for these reasons.Then, when (for example at the second cutoff cylinder, when recurring cutoff four-cylinder), the rotating speed (rotating speed of transmission side) of plate 22 (for example after the rotating speed of header board 21 (engine speed) became and is lower than, header board 21 is reduced to 790rpm, become thus and be lower than the 805rpm of back plate 22), an end 23a of back plate 22 contact springs 23 thus.
One end 23a of back plate 22 and spring 23 above-mentioned contacts and makes and transmitting energy (back plate 22 provides to the energy of header board 21) via spring 23 between back plate 22 and the header board 21, and header board 21 rotating speeds diminish because of the reduction that cutoff causes thus, diminish and rotate to fluctuate.Therefore, do not surpass threshold value because of the rotational wave momentum that cutoff caused in the second cutoff cylinder.Therefore, can not detect cutoff in the second continuous cutoff cylinder (for example, four-cylinder).Note, depend on the size of the play of flywheel 2, not only can not detect two continuous cutoff, also can not detect a cylinder cut-out in some cases.
When an end 23a of back plate 22 contact springs 23, the transmission of energy has reduced the rotating speed of back plate 22.Rotating speed at back plate 22 becomes less than the time point of the rotating speed of header board 21, and the end 23a disengaging of back plate 22 and spring 23 falls into above-mentioned play scope thus.Subsequently, when the normal combustion because of cylinder made the rotating speed of header board 21 become to be higher than the rotating speed of back plate 22, back plate 22 contacted with the other end 23b of spring 23.
Contacting between the other end 23b of back plate 22 and spring 23 causes that energy transmits (header board 21 provides to the energy of back plate 22) via spring 23 between back plate 22 and the header board 21, although be normal combustion thus, the rotating speed of header board 21 also reduces.Therefore, the rotation fluctuation surpasses threshold value, and detects as cutoff (for example, the cutoff in the 6th cylinder #6) takes place.
As mentioned above, adopt the motor of flywheel to exist in idle running scope (low load/low engine speed range: the problem that detects cutoff the scope A among Fig. 4) mistakenly.In addition, in the driving scope (the scope C among Fig. 4) of middle load, also there is the not state of contact spring 23 (scope shown in the arrow C among Fig. 7) of the state of back plate 22 contact springs 23 and back plate 22, what therefore the rotation fluctuation can become when cutoff taking place is irregular, can detect cutoff mistakenly thus.
Japanese Patent Laid Open Publication 2004-324524 and 07-279734 do not consider above-mentioned with use the relevant problem of flywheel.Therefore, the technology that discloses in above-mentioned document can not solve the problem of the rotation fluctuation that causes because of flywheel.
Summary of the invention
Be conceived to the problems referred to above and finished the present invention, the objective of the invention is to provides a kind of misfire detection device that is used for internal-combustion engine in the internal-combustion engine that adopts flywheel, it can reduce the influence of the rotation fluctuation that causes because of flywheel, and can carry out reliable cutoff and detect.
The present invention relates to a kind of misfire detection device that is used for internal-combustion engine, its rotation according to motor is fluctuateed and is detected cutoff in the internal-combustion engine that is provided with flywheel.Preestablish cutoff and detect the operating range that influenced by flywheel.Whether the operating condition of judging internal-combustion engine is in " operating range that influenced by flywheel ".When the operating condition of internal-combustion engine is in " operating range that influenced by flywheel ", the cutoff detection is limited.
In the present invention, cutoff is detected the cylinder identification processing that the processing that limits can comprise identification cutoff cylinder, and the number of cylinders determination processing of judging the cutoff number of cylinders.In addition, in the processing that the cutoff detection is limited, can comprise the processing that stops (cancellation) cutoff detection itself.
According to the present invention, because when the operating condition at internal-combustion engine is in " operating range that influenced by flywheel " the cutoff detection is limited, so the wrong detection that can avoid the irregular rotation fluctuation situation because of flywheel to cause, and can improve cutoff and detect performance.
The present invention can be configured to, make under the situation that the cylinder identification of carrying out identification cutoff cylinder is handled, when the operating condition of internal-combustion engine is in outside " operating range that influenced by flywheel ", (increasing progressively) upgrade the count value of total cutoff counter and cylinder separately the cutoff counter count value both, and in the time of in the operating condition of internal-combustion engine is in " operating range that influenced by flywheel ", only upgrade the count value of (increasing progressively) total cutoff counter.Adopt above-mentioned setting, when cutoff takes place,, always upgrade the count value of total cutoff counter regardless of the operating condition of internal-combustion engine.Therefore, can obtain the count value (total cutoff coding) of total cutoff counter as authentic data.
In addition, do not upgrade the cylinder count value of cutoff counter separately when being in " operating range that influenced by flywheel " by operating condition at internal-combustion engine, can obtain reliable count value (each own coding of cylinder), it does not comprise the wrong detection that the irregular rotation fluctuation situation because of flywheel causes.
According to the present invention, judge whether the operating condition of internal-combustion engine is in " operating range that influenced by flywheel ", in the time of in being in above-mentioned scope, the cutoff detection is carried out.Therefore, the wrong detection that can avoid the irregular rotation fluctuation situation because of flywheel to cause, and can carry out reliable cutoff and detect.

Cutoff detects to be handled
At first being described in determination map figure M and the identification of cutoff detection/cylinder used in the cutoff detection processing of being carried out by ECU 100 handles.
Determination map figure
In this example, detect use determination map figure M shown in Figure 4 in the processing in cutoff.Utilize the rotating speed of motor 1 and load is prepared as parameter and preestablish determination map figure M in the ROM 102 of ECU 100.
Determination map figure M is the mapping graph that uses when judging that whether carry out the cylinder identification that is used to discern the cutoff cylinder handles.In this mapping graph, setting range A, scope B, scope C and scope D.In above-mentioned four scopes, scope A (idle running scope) and scope C (middle load operation scope) stop the scope that cylinder identification is handled.The scope A of determination map figure M, scope B, scope C and scope D correspond respectively to the scope that is reached " D " expression among Fig. 7 by arrow " A ", " B ", " C " of flywheel 2.
Note, in the determination map figure of Fig. 4 M, need to consider that the situation (influence that cutoff is detected) of the rotation fluctuation that the above-mentioned play (pore volume) because of flywheel 2 causes determines to stop scope A and the scope C (operating range that influenced by flywheel) that cylinder identification is handled.Particularly, for example, under the situation that engine speed when motor 1 actual motion and load change, can be to when in that (WOT: the rotation when cutoff has taken place under various different operating conditions WOT) be fluctuateed and is measured from the slow-speed of revolution/low loading range to high engine speed range (red area)/high capacity.Based on above-mentioned measurement result, can obtain to be difficult to discern the scope of cutoff cylinder, thus can setting range A and C.Perhaps, by computer etc., can be to simulating when the rotation fluctuation when cutoff has taken place under the various different operating conditions of high rotating speed/high capacity scope from the slow-speed of revolution/low loading range.According to analog result, can obtain to be difficult to discern the scope of cutoff cylinder, thus can setting range A and C.
The identification of cutoff detection/cylinder is handled
At first, output according to crankshaft position sensor 36 and cam-position sensor 37 etc., ECU100 order executable operations is to obtain transit time T1 (the first cylinder #1), transit time T2 (the second cylinder #2), transit time T3 (the 3rd cylinder #3), transit time T4 (four-cylinder #4), transit time T5 (the 5th cylinder #5), and transit time T6 (the 6th cylinder #6), it is respectively that bent axle 15 (for example rotates specific crank angle in the explosion stroke of the cylinder #1-#6 of motor 1, CA=120 °) the required period, ECU 100 goes back the order executable operations to obtain the transit time deviation, promptly, the rotational wave momentum Δ NE1-Δ NE6 of each cylinder #1-#6, wherein:
Δ NE1 (the first cylinder #1)=[T1-T6], Δ NE2 (the second cylinder #2)=[T2-T1], Δ NE3 (the 3rd cylinder #3)=[T3-T2], Δ NE4 (four-cylinder #4)=[T4-T3], Δ NE5 (the 5th cylinder #5)=[T5-T4], and Δ NE6 (the 6th cylinder #6)=[T6-T5].
When one or more among the rotational wave momentum Δ NE1-Δ NE6 of each cylinder #1-#6 that obtains according to above-mentioned computing surpass defined threshold (referring to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6), ECU 100 judges cutoff has taken place.
When ECU 100 judgements cutoff had taken place, it carried out the cylinder identification processing that is used to discern the cutoff cylinder according to the output of crankshaft position sensor 36 and cam-position sensor 37 and the operation result of rotational wave momentum Δ NE1-Δ NE6 etc.On the other hand, if the operating condition of motor 1 is in the scope A or C of determination map figure M of Fig. 4, it is not carried out cylinder identification and handles.
Above-mentioned " cutoff detection " reaches " cylinder identification handle " is that cutoff at Fig. 3 detects the processing of carrying out among step ST2 in the routine and the ST6.
Cutoff detects routine
Below, will detect the contents processing of handling by the cutoff that ECU 100 carries out with reference to the flow chart description of figure 3.Repeat cutoff with the certain hour cycle and detect routine.
At first, at step ST1, ECU 100 judges that whether satisfying the regulation cutoff detects executive condition.When result of determination when negating, just finish cutoff and detect routine.On the contrary, if the result of determination in step ST1 for certainly the time, that is, when satisfying cutoff and detect executive condition, control proceeds to step ST2.
Here, " cutoff detection executive condition " refers to rated condition.For example, be issued to positive torque range in the situation of not carrying out fuel cut-off, the operating condition of motor 1 was in [(idling rotation-150rpm) to (red rotating speed)].
At step ST2, ECU 100 judges whether cutoff has taken place in the cylinder #1-#6 of motor 1 by such scheme, if result of determination for negative, that is, when also cutoff not taking place, just finish cutoff and detects routine.On the contrary, when in the result of determination of step ST2 for certainly the time, that is, in one of cylinder #1-#6 of motor 1 cutoff has taken place, control proceeds to step ST3.
At step ST3, ECU 100 judges whether the current operating condition of motor (rotating speed/load) of motors 1 is in the scope A or scope C of determination map figure M of Fig. 4.When result of determination for certainly the time, that is, when the operating condition when motor 1 under the situation that cutoff takes place was in " scope that influenced by flywheel ", it did not carry out the processing (step ST4) of discerning the cutoff cylinder.After step ST5 only increases progressively total cutoff counter 105, just finish the cutoff determination routine.
On the contrary, if the result of determination at step ST3 is to negate, that is, when the operating condition of motor 1 under the situation that cutoff takes place is in scope B or the scope D (, the operating condition of motor 1 is in outside " scope that influenced by flywheel "), control proceeds to step ST6.
At step ST6, ECU 100 handles by above-mentioned cylinder identification and discerns the cutoff cylinder.Increase progressively total cutoff counter 105 and cylinder separately after the cutoff counter 106 at step ST7, just finish cutoff and detect routine.
Note, in this example, carry out cutoff fault warning (that is, connecting tutorial light 9) according to the result of determination of the count value of utilizing total cutoff counter 105.That is, when the count value of total cutoff counter 105 arrives the time point of specified value (for example, counting 30-60), just connect tutorial light 9.
Detect processing according to above-mentioned cutoff, when the operating condition of motor 1 is in " scope (scope A or scope C) that influenced by flywheel ", stop to be used to discern the cylinder identification processing of cutoff cylinder.Therefore, if for example there is wrong detection as shown in Figure 8, promptly, can avoid " when the continuous cutoff of (for example; the 3rd cylinder # 3 and four-cylinder #4) two cylinders, not detecting the wrong detection of the cutoff of second cutoff cylinder (for example, four-cylinder #4) " and " although cutoff does not take place; as the wrong detection that cutoff (for example, the cutoff of the 6th cylinder #6) taken place ".Therefore, can improve the reliability that cutoff detects.In addition, no matter whether the operating condition of motor 1 is in " scope that influenced by flywheel ", all carries out cutoff detection itself, can guarantee the cutoff measuring ability thus.
Here, the regulation cutoff coding that has " unknown cylinder cut-out coding (total cutoff coding) " and " cylinder recognition coding ".Under environment such as Auto repair shop, use above-mentioned two kinds of codings to detect in detail.Cutoff in this example detects in the processing, regardless of the operating condition of motor 1, all increases progressively the count value of total cutoff counter 105 when cutoff takes place.Therefore, the count value (that is total cutoff coding) that can obtain total cutoff counter 105 as high reliability data, can detect under environment such as Auto repair shop thus in detail.
Note, in the cutoff detection of this example is handled, when the operating condition of motor 1 is in " scope that influenced by flywheel ", do not increase progressively the cylinder count value of cutoff counter 106 separately.Therefore, compared to the situation that obtains to comprise the cylinder recognition coding that is subjected to the wrong detection that flywheel 2 influences, when carrying out detection in detail, cylinder separately cutoff counter 106 count value (promptly, the cylinder recognition coding) be favourable, although it may can not positively react actual cutoff state.
Other embodiments
In the above-described embodiments, except cylinder identification is handled, also can carry out the number of cylinders determination processing to judge whether cutoff is a cylinder cut-out (referring to Fig. 5), two continuous cutoff of cylinder (referring to Fig. 6) or two cylinder cut-outs at intermittence (having a normal combustion cylinder between two cutoff cylinders).In the case, when the operating condition of motor 1 is in " scope that influenced by flywheel ", stop that cylinder identification is handled and the number of cylinders determination processing both.Note, can replace cylinder and discern processing and only carry out the number of cylinders determination processing.In the case, when the operating condition of motor 1 is in " scope that influenced by flywheel ", also can stop the number of cylinders determination processing.
Stopping cylinder identification when in the above-described embodiments, the operating condition when motor 1 is in " scope that influenced by flywheel " handles.But the present invention is not limited to this, and can stop cutoff detection itself when being in " scope that influenced by flywheel " in the operating condition of motor 1.
In the above-described embodiments, shown the example that the present invention is applied to six cylinder gasoline engines.But the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applicable to have other multi-cylinder petrol engines of any amount cylinder, for example four-cylinder gasoline engine.The present invention can be applicable to various types of multicylinder engines, for example array or V-type multicylinder engine or vertical putting or horizontal multicylinder engine.In addition, the present invention is not limited to petrol engine, also can be applicable to adopt the ignition type engine of other fuel (for example LPG (liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)) or LNG (LNG Liquefied natural gas)).
Should be appreciated that here the embodiment who discloses to be example in all fields and unrestricted.Scope of the present invention by the clause of claim but not above description define, and the invention is intended to comprise the scope that falls into claim and the implication that is equal to term in any change.
